Well here's the deal, The post is where is should be +- a few mm I'm legs not torso. I know I could do a shorter stem and it'd be fine I'm sure. But heres the deal, I want to build a bike to ride in town and I would feel terrible riding this on the street. But for 400 maybe I can just deal with it and have a great bike for occasions. I still have my conversion for beating up, and I think andre may sell me his KHS soon so I could make that my daily driver. only expense would be a new stem and re-building a new rear wheel since this is tubular. thoughts?
